Something as simple as inventing emojis that differentiate btwn Airtable single-selects & multi-selects saves me brain time once I get in Airtable itself & again when I get into Softr. Like writing my own tutorial. Prevents extra decisioning & cognitive fatigue. ๐ง #buildinpublic
I think in mind maps and can't fathom planning for @airtable or @softr_io without them. I've always used mind map emojis, but I learned my lesson w/ Find a Damn Bra MVP ๐that I must also now include ones that mimick Airtable field types. Key for planning! #buildinpublic
๐ Discovering scraping rabbit holes that I am declaring as out of scope til I complete the functional weekend backlog, though some are MVP critical.
More amped than ever for another @100daysnocode Build Weekend!
New MVP: ๐ฉ๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป' ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐ฉ, a global business directory that helps donut lovers find fresh vegan donuts
Challenge complete! I didn't make it in my 24 hr deadline, but I got it done. And I got all of the outcomes I strategized for:
โ๏ธ ๐๐พโโ๏ธ Get needle-moving reps in โ๏ธ โ Make 5 that WORK โ๏ธ ๐ โ Build time โ๏ธ ๐ โ Confidence โ๏ธ ๐ Know I did it
Evidently, Softr form creation is what I need to explore next. Couldn't figure it out by playing around--block and field edits weren't what I thought would be. Didn't have time to read or watch the tutorials yet. Out of scope! Another time.
Challenged myself to create 5โฃ timed @softr_io apps in 24 hours โฒ๏ธusing 10 random strangers' @airtable bases. Had to fill in some data holes & limited myself to basic fields & filters since I'm still a noob.

๐คNew strategy for learning to get unstuck/unlost in @airtable: look at strangers' bases, study the fields they linked, and infer the sequence of fields created first, PRIOR to linking.
Just like an old fave Sesame Street vignette. โค๏ธ #buildinpublic

Worked on @yepdotso landing page for new @softr_io donut MVP๐ฉ. Had a Raynaud's attack mid-copywriting for the block on body flare-ups. Clearly a sign from the no-code gods that the MVP will work & make me a bajillion $. #buildinpublic#Raynaudsinpublic
